Lyrics of the song I need to be in love by Karen Carpenter

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go thru temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, Let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say Good-bye
It took a while for me to learn
that nothin' comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at four am.
without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope but I'm alright

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

Lyrics for the song "I'm on top of the world" by The Carpenters

Such a feeling's comin' over me
There is wonder in 'most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised
if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing
To heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world
Lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me
That thing's are not the same
In the leaves on the tree
And the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be
Just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world
Lookin' down on creation
And the only explanatin I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
You love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world
Lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
